Habeck: Russia is heading for defeat in Ukraine
8.30 a.m .:
Economics Minister Robert Habeck sees Russia on the way to military defeat.
"Nobody would have thought that the year 2022 would end like this," said the Green politician of the German Press Agency.
"Putin is losing this war on the battlefield," he said, looking at the Russian president.
This is because the Ukrainian army receives weapons from Europe, NATO countries and the USA and uses these weapons "skillfully and strategically, wisely and heroically".
"I am in favor of Germany, together with the Allies, supporting Ukraine in such a way that it can win this war," said Habeck, who had advocated arms supplies to the country even before the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine began.
"There will certainly always be new systems, more support, but they always have to be discussed in conjunction with the Allies." So much has come, the next steps would certainly enable further successes for the Ukraine.
